-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.

-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.

   With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible. 
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be  

                           (13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .

                            =    (13-ft) x (3-ft)

           Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                             = (2 x 13-ft)  +  (2 x 3-ft) 
                           
                             =      (26-ft)  +  (6-ft)  =  32 feet  <== shortest perimeter.

-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area.  That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.

The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is    (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .

                        = (39-ft)  x  (1-ft) .

    Perimeter  =  (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                       =   (2 x 39-ft)  +  (2 x 1-ft)

                       =        (78-ft)  +  (2-ft)     =     80 feet .    

What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.

A computer programming team has 13 members. a. How many ways can a group of seven be chosen to work on a project? b. Suppose sev
Julli [10]

Answer:

1716 ;

700 ;

1715 ;

658 ;

1254 ;

792

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of members (n) = 13

a. How many ways can a group of seven be chosen to work on a project?

13C7:

Recall :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!

13C7 = 13! ÷ (13 - 7)!7!

= 13! ÷ 6! 7!

(13*12*11*10*9*8*7!) ÷ 7! (6*5*4*3*2*1)

1235520 / 720

= 1716

b. Suppose seven team members are women and six are men.

Men = 6 ; women = 7

(i) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain four women and three men?

(7C4) * (6C3)

Using calculator :

7C4 = 35

6C3 = 20

(35 * 20) = 700

(ii) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain at least one man?

13C7 - 7C7

7C7 = only women

13C7 = 1716

7C7 = 1

1716 - 1 = 1715

(iii) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain at most three women?

(6C4 * 7C3) + (6C5 * 7C2) + (6C6 * 7C1)

Using calculator :

(15 * 35) + (6 * 21) + (1 * 7)

525 + 126 + 7

= 658

c. Suppose two team members refuse to work together on projects. How many groups of seven can be chosen to work on a project?

(First in second out) + (second in first out) + (both out)

13 - 2 = 11

11C6 + 11C6 + 11C7

Using calculator :

462 + 462 + 330

= 1254

d. Suppose two team members insist on either working together or not at all on projects. How many groups of seven can be chosen to work on a project?

Number of ways with both in the group = 11C5

Number of ways with both out of the group = 11C7

11C5 + 11C7

462 + 330

= 792

The graph below shows the function f(x)=x-3/x^2-2x-3 which statement is true
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:

The expression in the denominator is x^2-2x-3

x² - 2x-3 ≠0

-3 = +1 -4

(x²-2x+1)-4 ≠0

(x²-2x+1)=(x-1)²

(x-1)² - (2)² ≠0

∴a²-b² =(a-b)(a+b)

(x-1-2)(x-1+2) ≠0

(x-3)(x+1) ≠0

x≠3 for all x≠ -1

So there is a hole at x=3 and an asymptote at x= -1, so Option B is wrong

Asymptote:

x-3/x^2-2x-3

We know that denominator is equal to (x-3)(x+1)

x-3/(x-3)(x+1)

x-3 will be cancelled out by x-3

1/x+1

We have asymptote at x=-1 and hole at x=3, therefore the correct option is A....
